Sony is now rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat bug-fix, just as it had promised last week. Firmware build 14.3.A.0.757 replaces the previous KitKat build (14.3.A.0.681) and fixes the sound bug issue which frustrated many. The issue related to sounds from the handset being played through the internal, rather than the external speaker.

The update is rolling out across all variants of the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 Compact. We have included a list of regions where it has currently hit right now, however expect this to broaden over the coming days. If you’ve downloaded it, let us know if it fixes all of the issues you’ve had with the new KitKat build.

Can you brief the bugs, I have been using the Z1 and except for the lockscreen wall paper issue and the lockscreen music widget where i dont get the album art refreshed when the songs change, i didnt notice anything.

Mohammed Khired

maybe means “Unknown” …

Fafiq

He’s right, it means “I don’t know”. ;) Trust me, I’m from Poland

Micro

wouldn’t be that funny, “nieznany” = “unknown”, but “nie wiem” has the very same meaning as “I have no idea” or “I don’t know” :]

Hmm, interesting, I am a heavy user. I am on wifi close to 6 hrs a day and otherwise on 2G network and 3G if needed. I play few HD games like 2 hrs, on whatapp chat that can go upto few 100 msgs across 4 hrs. Random foto shots and mayb 30 min to 1 hrs music on BT. Frequent email check on chrome. and 2 hrs of voice calls. I get close to 18 hrs. Mayb you should check if any of ur apps are trying to write on the SD card but cant due to google restriction. check if the media server service is killing the battery. If that is the case you can remove the SD card and reboot the fone and then add the SD card.

F

Download call log manager, then delete the call log from it. After that start making calls and it should appear on your call log

updated to d bug fix release 757, the fone works just like b4 :D no bugs earlier no bugs now.

I’m in the UK still waiting on O2 network…. When I get the update/fix for my Sony z1. I’ll.post more info

Emil Oskarsson

Think about it this way, how much support do samsung and HTC give their mid range handsets? In my opinion Sony is the best when it comes to update or releasing new firmware updates for mid range handsets :p

Adrian969

I feel sure that Z will recieve a simplified version of 4.4 with lots of the new features from Z1/Z2 not avaible. Probably it will be some annoying bugs too that will not be fixed, making people want a new phone.

Just like what happened with X10i and the 2.3-update, a annoying soundbug that maked musik skip a bit while listening. It never got fixed by Sony. Or the Arc that got 4.0 but with lots of preinstalled apps that was unnesecary but could not be removed, wasting 50-10MB of internal storgare that was needed for other stuff. The result was a slow phone that always run of out storage for apps.

grav1ty

And that’s why so many people fucked up when Sony is releasing so much smartphones. They just ignore even 1 year old devices. As a customer, you will always have the shorter one. Trust me, too many Flagships arent good for customer experience, if they can’t (better won’t) support it. Forget those new Features with new Versions of Android, they don’t even fix bugs, which where there while it wasn’t 1 year old. And when your device has passed the “Sony-Support-Time-Frime”, they say “Sorry guys, but we do not support this very old crappy device any more”

You are reading this from a Sony user

Adrian969

Yes. But still Sony is the best at market right now. The other are doing worse with their models.

the M

Im downloading it in Egypt now

Deki

Are there any other big fixes except sound issues?

I’m waiting for it…

Danni Kristensen

1. Open Call Log Monitor
2. Check all items on the list, and delete them using the bin in the top right corner

TIP: The calls are sorted by date, and you can just check the date fields. It’s a lot easier.

After that, open your phone dealer, and make a call. It should now appear in the call log area.

MikeViller

whatever devices you own at a certain point you go with customized rom …… my samsung i9100 was updated once by Samsung. I am running KitKat on this device thanks to custom rom and it work great…….

Tim Westerholm

Downloading atm… in Sweden. I’m having problem with Google play keyboards. Any tip to make it runs faster? Using Swype (paid version)

Erik Engelsen

Not out in Australia, Hopefully Coming comes out soon, so can’t wait to get rid of this sound bug

Robix

Updated phone 4hrs ago, until now no problems detected with sound. Before update – was.

Abdul Ghani

Rose

I have all day update Z1 on my computer.. and It not exist and do what I want it do.. I will have my photo and videos on my computer.. but it stands it is not working… on media go

Z1CompactUser

anybody who got new updates on movies 6.2.A.0.8 ?? New ui and it good access on movies app.

JP

I just received the Movie update. Yes, it has a new UI, but I am still experiencing the bug in which I cannot find certain movie information via the integrated Gracenote. For example, I search “Thor” or “Pacific Rim”, the app tells me “No network available blah blah”. This used to work before the 4.4 update.

I guess this is a 4.4 bug rather than the app itself? I’m still waiting for this system update that hopefully fixes not only the sound bug, but other bugs as well. I really getting impatient with Sony. :(

mercast

Hahaha. That’s so accurate and witty. I agree.

JG

Movie app for z1 has an update OTA. Just wanted to share this

JG

So, how’s the update?

MastaMold

Using Z1 here in the U.S. when we getting update?

darannechelle

Nice new UI for movie app but little awkward for movie poster

Rene Pedroso

I still haven’t received the KitKat update on my XZ1 (C6903). I still have Build Number 14.2.A.0.290……. Ughhhhhhhhhhh

Hamed Azizi

Now rolling to Iran.

Ralph

i’m still currently at 4.3 jb(didn’t update due to the comments/bugs i’ve read on the first kitkat version). do i need to upgrade to 14.3.A.0.681 first then to

14.3.A.0.757 or can i upgrade straight away?

grunt

seems like the audio bug has been fixed on mine. good job sony!
however another new bug appeared. i’ve set my z1c to vibrate mode (via smart connect, every weekdays 8-6pm sound mode turns to vibrate), but when i received an SMS, the sound mode change back to normal, and then notification sounds dinged.
i manually change it back to vibrate, receive another sms, same thing happened.
i hope this is just a bug from smart connect, not from kitkat itself.. anyhow, please resolve this issue!

gordon brown

Happens to me at this moment with my Xperia Z1, I was waiting for the fix, thank God Sony noticed. In the meantime what I was doing to resolve the issue was going to the settings, volume, slide the ringtone to the left, let the “example of volume” noise to be hear, slide it back to full, click done, should reset volume being heard from main-bottom speaker rather than
internal speaker.Android 4.4.2

sTEVEN

I tried this morning both with SUS and PC Companion and there’s no update available for Romania. Which carrier do you use?

Just connect your phone to the PC and use the companion software to update. You won’t see this update from your phone.

sini j

i am from germany, didnt get an update yet,.. connected thru pc companion bt still cant update. why? could anyone help to solve this problem.

JG

After I updated the movie app, the video unlimited update notice came up!

Which is which? lol. I’ve connected to pc comp but the latest update is still 681.

Ahmad

what’s ur m0b ?

SinaKing

Now Live For Lund Sweden <3

hansip

Just change into other theme and it will be changeable. It is because of Sony unique default KitKat live wallpaper is applied when you choose the stock theme, hence Lockscreen is locked into live wallpaper one.

WiZe

This update still not available in Switzerland (At least OTA) but just got the Movie update and now, Video Unlimited is available!! Good news…. Now, my Z2 Tablet amd my Z1 would like to meet with my preordered Z2 :-)

Yasir Fawad

last night updated , Z1 compact here in Pakistan. Bugs are now fixed.

Kaarthikeyan Swaminathan

For Z it is expected by mid Q2, so that shoule be out by end of may

jag

that movie poster depends on the last watched video, right?

darannechelle

Nope!!! When you link a video on gracenote, that’s what im talkinh about, UI is more square type, so when it view a movie file, the whole rectangular poster has been cropped

jag

aah… ok. no need to put 3 exclamation marks. hehe! you should have explained well awhile ago. geez

Thanks! I just got the update! For now it’s stable, the UI is more smooth and the camera is faster, not a problem at all. I put Live Wallpaper, the original from Xperia (Air) to see if the bugs are there…

Thanks. :)

I updated in india. Maharashtra

I’ve the Z1 in the UK and the checker says O2 pay monthly has the update but what about the o2 pay and go? when will I expect to see kitkat? Just got the phone today so would like it up to kitkat soon as.

Had it on the Nexus 4 and I liked it…Sony please kick it out to the little people :-)

I am really disappointed with the KitKat Update for my Z1 Compact. After two weeks of use, it still feels very rushed and unfinished:

+ Soundbug is history now. Works fine
+ Design is also better than Jellybean, although it’s not a big change
– Quickactions in the notification bar now need two clicks instead of one. Very disappointing when driving.
– battery seems to be drained slightly faster than with JB (however, google promised the opposite with Kitkat)
– from time to time my phone seems to freeze with no reason. For example a few minutes ago, when my alarm clock rang and I was not able to deactivate it (the screen didnt accept an input). Or yesterday when I was making photos and the screen all of a sudden became black, but I was still hearing the sounds of making inputs.
– Kitkat camera bug. When starting the camera app, i get the info “camera not available”. Also seen the same problem with my friend’s Z1 and on my brother’s nexus.
– not able to write on my SD Card with Airdroid because of Kitkat’s restrictions

Anyone else who also experiences the same problems?

laughingoh

no update in hong kong

Jake Mendoza

after i upgrade to kitkat my z1 is having problem with the power button..and now.its totally not working..i cant turn on my mobile.though when its charging the screen shows normal.logo stuffs and battery icon.and also the led light is working..is there anyone else having same problem like what i am experiencing right now?!can u please give me some advise..tnx

Still waiting for the update here, can anyone confirm the following bugs have been fixed?
– Overheating with high end games, sometimes even just browsing apps
– Buggy sound
– Slow camera loading speed
– Reduced battery time
– Increased ram conmsumption

I’m considering downgrading to 4.3 :/ Even if I’ll miss the full screen support…

Amin

What Is your Channel address?

Peter

YEAH finaly the netherlands is the first who receives the update, now downloading :-)

what the hell? That coz they never need an update? tell me any Samsung or HTC that have software bug that causes the phones loudspeaker not to work when needed. Its our basic needs dude. Im not talking about improvements or latest android. The Basicssss!!!

My screen is still not working properly. Random touch how can I fix this. Please help me

ractimansi

I have a xperia z1 compact that still is on JBean. No notifications OTA, nor any update through companion or update service. I’m from portugal. Anyone else like me?

Kris

You can’t get KitKat OTA. You need to update it with Sony Update Service (Windows) or Sony Bridge (Mac), as the Update is 1100MB big.

Kris

Oh, sorry, I didn’t read carefully :) I have no idea. Maybe your provider is just too slow with releasing it.

Still your phone battery drain is faster ? Still your phone is become hot?
Please answer for your new update review.

Timothy Lee

Same here, unable to update, just checked at 11.35am.

anshdoc

I feel these bugs are fixed in z1 compact atleast.

Nicola Lombardi

Hi,

From The Netherlands update Xperia Z1 complete.
Provider: T-mobile, finally it reached.
I have to say, it’s a nice update design-wise, still have to test the rest like camera, walkman etc etc.

So far just one little annoying sound when pressing back.
I was able to remove it after disabling the keypad sound and vibration.
Device get’s heated up like crazy while using full brightness, also the battery empties very fast. It’s nice to have a crispy beautiful Triluminos screen but come on Sony it has to be battery efficient. Might as well do not have that glorious display, if for battery reasons I’m oblige to put the brightness on a minimum to have 3/4 day of battery life.

I’ve always been a Sony mobile fan since the P900 forwards, I stopt when the galaxy S1 came out. I started to use Sony again since the Xperia Z (amazing design), now I upgraded to Z1.

Come on Sony stay on track you guys have the hardware, now fix software to work properly with the hardwarde!

Just updated firmware. Been using it in few hours straight downloading content. No issue(camera, touch, heating,lag,etc) so far. :)

Karam Abeer

This kept happening sometimes when I use the camera even after the update!!

Micro

seems like the bluetooth problems are gone too (Z1), since yesterday the sound didn’t break even once on any receiver I tried, and the “Throw” stopped messing up with every device around. We will see, but looks (especially sounds) promising so far.

VJ

Yes the Update fixes the bug…the unit is working perfectly fine. Cheers Sony!!!

Emil Oskarsson

Say that to the outlet who upgraded their galaxy s3:s to Android 4.3 when the update came out. Some phones died and couldn’t be repaired :p

I did dowloaded here in Panama.
Hope they fix the battery issue. WithKitkat the battery drain faster.

Limo

When is Z Kitkat coming? My Z is telling me it’s is hungry and what’s some chocolate….

Timothy Lee

Got the update for Z1 already. (Malaysia)

Jani Perkiä

YES thank you Sony! I just bought Xperia Z Ultra and I though I was going crazy since the sound came from wrong speaker at times. I was just writing you email when my phone beeped that a new update was available.

Kenzo Fai

Finally! Thanks ur inform

Christian Alfonso Sanchez Mazu

In Colombia, ready update today!!

Boris Guzii

F*ck where is update for C6902 ?

Miguel

Overheating and battery drain bugs still… this update just fix the sound and minimal issues. The camera can’t work due overheating. Sony, please.

leyla

Is the touch screen issue solved?

Jaissal S

I’m in the UK and am updating my Z1 to the .757 version right now! Through PC Companion. Yay! I bought the phone on its own without a contract.

Kris

4.3 was better and more stable than kitkat ;)

Kris

Seems to be a common bug, not just with Sony devices, but with Kitkat in general (my friend’s XZ, my brother’s Nexus 5 and my Girlfriends Galaxy S4 have it too). Only restarting the device helps here…

kokalo

Nop,does your?

Stephen

got my update last night in ireland for my z1
my speakers were working fine before update so ive noticed nothing new

Stephen

4.3 had more bugs than a 200 year old mattress

someone

Can someone help me? I can’t seem to change the lockscreen on my Xperia z1. I tried everything. I turned off the phone and turn it back on, changed the theme, and.also cropped some photos as lockscreen wallpaper. How can I change the lockscreen wallpaper?

Would that mean I have to reset my phone deleting my file? Or does it just mean I have to turn it off and then back on again. Sorry I’m a beginner about this stuff ans my Xperia z1 is my first ever smartphone.

Micro

reboot = just turn off and back on, no deleting any files ;)
AFAIK it’s a common problem after updating android to KitKat on xperias (perhaps not only on them), especially if you had an animated wallpaper right before the update.

As anyone received the 14.3.A.0.757 update in the UK yet? It’s getting frustrating waiting for it, especially when Sony started rolling out on Monday 7th. I missed countless phone calls yesterday because of the sound issue, it’s unfair.
I keep checking Sony PC companion, but no joy.
Sony Xperia Z1 user.

mohammad

In the begining sony lied about z1 camera and with all installed updates still the camera is noisy in 20px.after that sony give us an update (4.4) that has alot of issues more than sound.problems like keyboarx disabling.touchscreen malfunctions.now i just feel that sony lied alot.and just it was so better to buy samsung galaxy or iphone.we paid alot of money but sony does not pay attention.i test 4.4 on my z1 and my friends and we both decide to downgrade it.im a developer and i know it well that those masterminds in sony are idiots.

Amit Verma

1. more battery usage
2. takes more time to recharge
3. over heating
4. camera lags
5. UI lags
6. more RAM usage
but sound has been fixed. onlyyyyyy

Tim Lias

Heads up – 14.3.A.0.757 kitkat update available now for z1 C6903 (unbranded/UK) – via Sony Pc Companion and a usb lead!!! Been using it now for 2 days and all is working fine,as far as I can see so far.

Z1 COMPACT here, unbranded/UK. Got the Kitkat update. still have some freeze in quick cam button for the camera app, being using the update for 2 days now. and the new splitscreen with notification/quick settings is a pain in the arse, COMPLETELY NOT ERGONOMIC compared to 4.3. I am totaly let down by the lack of TAP TO WAKE, RINGTONE OFF WHEN FLIPING THE PHONE and other small ergonomic uses of the sensors that the COMPETITION IS USING SINCE 4.2/4.3… why oh why SONY ?!? Being a dedicated user for almost 10 years now… CHECK THE CONCURENCE SONY, EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO SOFTWARE.

Farid Mamedov

I have Xperia Z1 but after update (14.3.A.0.681 and 14.3.A.0.757) my device doesn`t support my headphones

I updated my Z1 3 days ago and since then i haven’t been able to get the battery to last more than 6 hours. It goes from 100% to dead flat in 6hrs and thats mostly on standby and the whole time the phone is warm, if not hot. Also since the update the movies application will not recognize the mp4 movies on the sd card or the new music files i have added. Has anybody else had this issue?

Abu Saleq Rocky

I did it already. Its become hot, use more battery in 3G network. If i use power saving options then its ok. Camera starts very slowly sometimes. But quality become good. In 4.3 i had always minimum. 600 mb ram free. But in kitkat its 400 mb. For lags i disabled google plus. Now its less lag

I got this update yesterday (Poland). I hate it already because I found out that my apps can’t write to SD card (and some of them can’t also read it!). This is outrageous…

kslawko

Micro – This sounds like SF fo me… how did you treat your phone in terms or charging/discharging? What is its history? Did you allow it to discharge below 20% anytime, did you charge partially during the day? It seems impossible to have such long lasting battery in this fellow…

tastytenner

Since updating to kit kat 4.4.2 build 14.3.A.0.757,
Not having experienced any of the issues it was supposed to address,
I am now having major battery issues….
Where a full charge, 100%, would normally last me 2 days, I’m lucky now
To have it last half a day… On stand by…. Less if the phone is used…
From full to 55%, in the time taken to search for this thread and write
This post….
Anyone else with this problem..
I see it is an issue with 4.4.2, and 4.4.3 is to be released to
Resolve this issue….
When is 4.4.3 being released, O2 uk?
Thanks

SREEJITH S

got the update for xperia z1 c6902 , it was only 14.5 mb, but really a f***ing update, increased the charging time into 2x normal time, means it requires 5-6 hours to fully charge and the most disappointing and frustrating thing is the fast battery draining while using wi-fi, before this fix, my z1 was working pretty well in wi-fi , but now drops to 20% in wi-fi with minimal usage. :-( . can anyone help me here?

Micro

I thought I would better post a proof rather than talking about it. As you can see, no charging. almost 2 days of my completely NORMAL use – SW2 24/7, 6 hours of talking through the SBH20 + some music too (bluetooth of course), some web surfing, apps updating, several photos taken, blah blah. No wi-fi, because I have a very weak signal here and 3G drains the battery faster in this case – I intentionally disabled it to make it loose more power (it’s clear the 3G is poor on the bar) You can see there when the battery was drained faster- there was the talks (6 hours, 23 minutes, 9 seconds exactly, you can do the math so you will see how long would it stay without the talks). And it still have 33% and Stamina says one day of the battery is left, which is perfectly accurate in my case. Low battery mode is set to 10% (but I never let it drain that much, so I can’t say how long would it stay in this mode). That would be 3 full days without worry – pretty neat for a quad core fellow ;) I’m gonna let it go empty this once, I’m curious now how it ends ;)

SREEJITH S

After upgrade to 757, seems okay. But sometimes it hangs and requires to push the hard reset button. And most annoying part when i changed camera storage to SD card. It hang right after I push the camera snap button.

My camera hangs and crashes after the update. Sometimes I can’t open it at all. Help.

So I just installed this update on my xperia z1 and my phone won’t turn back on.. It keeps restarting and loads for about 2 minutes, shuts off, and then it automatically turns back on and does the same thing over again. This has been going on for about 2 hours now.. Oh and my phone is heating up.. Help!!!

ripqhy

I don’t like this kitkat update.. Sooo laggy..almost 80% use of RAM every time of the day.. Sometimes 90% or more…

Hallejulah, before they released the Kit Kat 4.4.2 update here in the UK they fixed the sound bug then released the update and the .757 bug fix at the same time and I updated it on 12th April

Julian

I have some headphones for my study of music. And I think since the last firmware upgrade I no longer support me, I need someone to help me telling me if this firmware does not support other headphones that are not Sony.

Updated the z1 a few weeks ago. had no issue before the update but now Camera and flash programs take up to 10 seconds to start, apps crash and hang. Im trying to roll back the phone to the previous build, and if that doesnt work, i will root the phone and install a mod, maybe someone else can get it right. Wish me luck!

I have been facing serious issues with Camera since the update.
Camera stops working, phone hangs up only option that works is to lock the screen and again unlock, after that i am able to get out of the camera app. I have to use hit and trial method to click the pics, sometimes it works and sometimes it gets very annoying. Please fix the problem as soon as possible.

Hi ive just updated to the new version 4.4.2, build no 14.3.A.0.757,, this software which was suppose to fix the speaker problem were the sound is playing from the ear piece, this new software has failed to work!!! the sound is still coming out of the earpiece when meant to be coming out of the bottom speaker,
it is so frustrating, since the phone is waterproof I may just throw it in the blender to destroy it!!
